Edit: A true masterpiece of this gamejam!
always good to see a fellow meltdown!
thanks for checking it out 🧊 🧊 🧊
I keep coming back to this… do you remember what you meant by “time to explode” ? there’s no explosion… you mean the cutscene?
OMG! I'm sorry, I must have opened a different game and thought it was yours.
Your game is awesome, now I understand all the rating and comments you are getting. The controls of the ice and the mechanics with cold and fire are very good. The respawn in the checkpoint (in the "ice Portal") is pretty cool. But my favorite part is the almost infinite sprinting! Its so cool to keep dashing to the sides! And the preview of the map is very useful thank you! I don't even have a tipo for you, because the game is a true masterpiece of this jam. Congrats (and sorry again for the wrong comment, I reavalieted the game either :D )
all good, I had a billion tabs open at times checking out other people’s stuff too, it happens
thank you so much for the kind words 🧊
I went through a lot of uncertainty if people were going to “get” what I was hoping they would about the design
good Game. plz can you rarte mine too Rate PRo_SpeedRunneR inWork by Keshuspr for PolyMars x ScoreSpace - itch.io
In my opinion best game in this whole jam!
thank you for checking it out and the kind words
here’s some 🧊 of appreciation
Thank you for 🧊 I really need it to cooldown
Really nice game design! Only thing I would point is that I played on my laptop and the game was bigger than my screen, other than that 10/10
thank you so much for saying that, i’ll keep that in mind moving forward for future projects
pure oversight on my part
many many 🧊🧊🧊 of appreciation for opening my eyes that smaller screens exist
the diff of the levels are balanced. maybe the sprite of the lambs can be changed. it was nice to play
I really like all the effects and the dash, but it is true that I would improve the levels because they remain empty. The gameplay is very good, my respects. Keep it up!
thanks for checking it out
getting a feel for what I can do to make my scenes not so empty is something I’ve been slowly working towards
definitely much room for improvement in that regard for a game like this
🧊 cheers
quite fun. If you want to bring you game to the next level, consider adding background props and animation. The scenes quite look empty, but still you completely nailed the aesthetics for me! Absolsutely love it!
agree 100%, the super minimalistic design is a factor of time and me doing this solo with very little art skills (more than half of the players apparently think my fridges are a door)
thank you so much for checking it out
🧊 cheers
Fun controls - We kinda had the same idea lol
Very good game
amazing and fun
The idea is very nice! I really like the movement and the 2D lights
Nice game but, I CANT JUMP ARGHHH (uwu)
I love the gameplay! The controls are tight and it feels great to control this ice cube (also I love that you made a small trail when ice walks on the ground, adds a nice touch to the game)
this is a very good submission. But unfortunately for me the last level beat me lol. But still this is an amazing game and you did a good job with it! Best of luck on your future projects
thank you so much for the kind words 🧊
yeah I know the last level is a bit of a “final boss” to many people, I might have overcooked it a bit
Solid game! just wish that it had wavedash.... or atleast an 8 directional dash ;( but that would require tweaking the whole game and level design. Anyways i think that the candles and Fridges area could be Circles instead of Squares and i didnt really get to die via sunlight or melting.. Great GAME!!! Super Cool and really good!!!BUT i havent gotten to the final level yet.. ill update my rating once i beat the game
funny you say that, wavedash was on my wishlist of mechanics to add but I couldn’t do it in time to make it feel good, didn’t want to have be super janky
good taste there 🧊
Its me (F1yu), I managed to complete ur game in 11 minutes first time. Going to try again soon. As someone else has already said, the movement is really satisfying. I think the dash mechanic is really cool but i'm just horrible at using it lol. I really like how polished this game is. I think its one of the best games🙂
i’d be curious to see how low you can get, did you see people getting all the way to 1:08? it’s crazy
🧊 cheers
yes i saw the score on the leaderboard and i could never get that haha
I estimate you can get down to 3-4 min at least with just learning the levels with minimal execution skill, below that is where movement tech comes really into play
UPDATE: i got 7 minutes, dont know how someone got 58s
woooooooooooooo \o/
if you want spoilers, there is a speedrun by me (now super beaten 1:15)

i like your game is really awesome simply unique game rate and play my game also plz!!!
It took a while, but the levels were fun. finding the mechanics isn't all fun, however. maybe I will just read all the comments first next time. Overall, good game!
Prolly one of the best ones ive played in this jam. Took quite a bit of time to get the hang of the movement, but very rewarding. Solid game!
thank you for putting the effort to go over the learning curve 🧊🧊🧊🧊🧊 really appreciate it
I am really not a good platformer player.
I was about to rate this low in gameplay because the controls felt slippery. I get it now. First run took like 13 minutes. Second went down to 4. Nice job!
not gonna lie, I was (still am honestly) terrified of that first sentence being the final verdict for most people. In the end decided to take the risk.
every person that “gets it” feels super good, I’m very thankful that you expressed it that way
🧊 cheers
